Hey guyz
I finally had to give up, deleted everything and thanks to baghdadvaio(ORAK now), who helped me with links and a complete self-installing package, I had it working on Note 2, android 4.2.2 Omega V29 rooted. Thank you, baghdadvaio. Then thank you voodoo and sosaw, and finally, thank you Catymag. (even if this is not a thanking post)

A question on the red highlight above.
which one is correct permission, rwx r-x r-x or -rwxr-xr-x with equivalent number of 755? this kind of confuse me. can we have what is the equivalent number on that particular permission.

Good day guys,
Everyone who is having "black screen/freeze on first start-up" (ex: Samsung S4 Stock 4.4.2 with no root) it is because on Google 4.4.0 and up the apps do not have permission to create files on SDcard
That is why you need to make an .apk with default directory: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.garmin.android.apps.gmobilext/files/Garmin
Step 1 install .apk [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] thanks to rf711 from 4pda for creating the .apk by my request
Step 2 after 1st start up, copy the Garmin folder to /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.garmin.android.apps.gmobilext/files/
Step 3 enjoy StreetPilot on Samsung S4 with no root
Good luck and enjoy!

Yes, Note 2 Android 44.2 rooted, thank you, that apk is the only one which can be installed on my phone. Using your libgarminos I get the program starting, loading maps but HANG/FREEZE on gray empty page with "Select a Locale" with Up/Down arrows and NO OPTION (empty) to select from. I am feeling that some information is missing from the Garmin folder..... Ready for new suggestions, since you appear to be inspired... :-)

It's not freezed, tap on the arrow up until Unites States show up.
It is emptym because your Garmin doesn't have the "ExtData" folder with the required xxx.bin files to display Chinese, Korean, etc.

Modern "On the Trail" devices (Astro, Dakota, Edge 800, eTrex 20/30, GPSMAP 62/78, Montana, Oregon, Rino 6xx) only recognize the font files 05 and 06.
The 3.xx firmwares for GPSMAP 62/78, and all FWs for GPSMAP 62c/sc also can use the fonts 07 and 08.

Correction

However, after updating all downloaded files I still can't get anything more than american english and chinese as a text language. Anybody any idea what could be preventing the standard Garmin install on Asus Padfone 2 from seeing the full set of text languages? Voices are fine, with every one available.

Reason: missed quote

Update Note 2 N7100 Omega ROM V29 android 4.4.2 rooted - installed and working SteetPilot 2.33 on internal sd, Sdcard0.
I took the phone out for testing on real navigation, guidance, etc. Maps installed are CityNavigator Europe NT Unicode 2015.10, almost 3.6GB.
The program takes on destination easy , works with phone gps and blutooth GPS (garmin GLO), but performance is very VERY laggy. Stuttering when showing movment on the street, and (my God) re-routing is taking sooooooo Loooooooong, sometimes a few shorter streets are longtime over until a new re-route is calculated and shown, possibly even this one is not appropriate anymore.
After this I switched to a much smaller map ROAD2008 - Romania only - and performance was OK.
Is this because the hardware is not up to the app or are there some tweaks for better performance?
